Superior equipment doesn't automatically assure superior sound. The way the system is designed and the way it works with the building is just as important. The Modeler design program can help design major features of the sound system before any equipment is installed. With this technology, our sound engineers carefully create an acoustical model of the facility, and ensure that the design reduces unwanted echoes, excessive reverberation, and acoustic hot and cold spots.
A comprehensive approach to the acoustical behavior of sound systems.
The Modeler design program helps Bose sound designers predict the behavior of sound systems in any kind of facility.

Proper speaker placement is a science.
With the proprietary Bose Modeler program, any number of speakers can be visually placed in a computerized room model of any size or shape. The program allows speakers to be aimed, moved, turned on or off, amplified, and for time delay values to be set. It also takes into account the acoustical properties of the surface materials to be used in the venue. All of this can be accomplished from architectural plans -- the building doesn't even have to exist.

Everything affects sound.
With the Modeler program, our engineers can also program in -- and see the results of-- obstructions and reflections. They can even explore how the number of people in the facility affects the sound.

Obstruction occurs when surfaces such as balconies and overhangs block the sound. Reflections, when managed properly, add spaciousness and ambiance.
But when uncontrolled, they create annoying echoes. Even the audience affects sound quality because fewer people in the stands expose more of the hard surfaces, increasing reverberation.

All these factors are programmed into the Modeler software and changes can be seen before any equipment is installed.

For an even more accurate prediction of the venue's sound, the Modeler program's output is then exported to our award-winning Auditioner® audio demonstrator, which allows you to actually hear the simulated sound.We use Modeler design program technology worldwide, in a variety of large venue applications.
